Mindy Kaling enjoys Thanksgiving with ultra-rare photo of kids during beach outing: ‘What I’m grateful for’
The ‘Office’ alum has kept the paternity of her children extremely private
Mindy Kaling is giving the world a glimpse of a part of life that she usually keeps close to the vest.
On Thanksgiving, the actress-producer, 42, shared to Instagram a rare photo of her daughter, Katherine Swati, 3, and son Spencer Avu, 1, as the eldest child pushed her baby brother in a stroller during a sunset beach outing.
“What I’m grateful for this year,” she captioned the tranquil snap. “Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.”
She explained the decision in a 2019 interview with Glamour magazine.
“It’s really essential to my life that there be something not everybody knows about,” she said. “That’s a boundary, but it’s a very small boundary. Everything else I really don’t have any issue sharing.”


“I think that’s another reason I work so hard; because I know that when she gets a little bit older, I want to be able to take off more time to spend with her.”
The “Late Night” star has long been elusive about revealing the paternity of Katherine and presented a candid reason for her secrecy.
